Valerie Asiimwe Amani - La Biennale di Venezia

As part of WAAU’s ongoing coverage of the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, we visited the pavilion of the United Republic of Tanzania, presenting the exhibition “Minor Frequencies: The Inner Life Of A Nation”. In this interview, Valerie Asiimwe Amani speaks with Pamina Sebastião about her artistic practice and reflects on the significance of participating in the Venice Biennale within the context of an international and intercultural dialogue. Curated by Lorna Benedict Mashiba and Martina Cavallarin, the exhibition brings together Tanzanian and international artists, transforming the pavilion into a space of listening, reflection and relational exchange. 00:02 - La Biennale di Venezia 00:14 - Valerie Asiimwe Amani, Artist & Writer, Tanzania 00:45 - Pamina Sebastião, Artist and Activist, Angola 00:58 - Fundação Gervasuti, Palazzo Canova 06:51 - Artists 07:07 - Valerie Asimiwe Amani is a Tanzanian artist and writer whose practice explores the intersections of body, language, and myth.
